Man, I’ve always been a huge fan of Conor McGregor, not just for his fighting but also for his style. That slicked-back hair he sports? It’s iconic. So, I thought, “Why not try it myself?” I mean, how hard could it be to get that Conor McGregor hairstyle?
First things first, I needed the right haircut. I showed my barber a picture of McGregor, emphasizing that I wanted that undercut look with longer hair on top. The barber nodded, understanding exactly what I was going for. He worked his magic, and I gotta say, he nailed the cut.
Next up, the styling. I knew I needed some quality products. I picked up a strong-hold pomade and a good hairspray. Now, after showering, I would towel dry my hair, leaving it slightly damp. This is important, it makes it easier to work with.
- Applying the pomade: I took a small amount of pomade, rubbed it between my hands to warm it up, and then I applied it to my hair. I started from the roots, working my way up to the tips. The key was to distribute it evenly, making sure every strand was coated.
- Combing: This is where the magic happens. I used a fine-tooth comb to slick back my hair, starting from the front and going all the way to the back. I made sure to keep the sides tight and neat.
- Volume at the front: McGregor’s hair has this little lift at the front, right? To achieve that, I used the comb to slightly lift the hair at the front, creating a bit of volume. This step was tricky, and it took a few tries to get it right.
- Hairspray: To lock everything in place, I used a good amount of hairspray. I sprayed it evenly over my hair, making sure to get the sides and the back as well. I didn’t want any flyaways ruining the look.
It took some practice, I won’t lie. The first few attempts were… well, let’s just say they weren’t exactly McGregor-worthy. But I kept at it, experimenting with different amounts of pomade and hairspray, and refining my combing technique.
Finally, after a few days of trial and error, I got it! I looked in the mirror, and there it was – that Conor McGregor hairstyle. It was sharp, it was stylish, and it made me feel like a million bucks. It’s definitely a high-maintenance look, requiring daily styling, but for me, it’s worth the effort. I just like how it looks and how it makes me feel.
